The Federal Government has recently confirmed its commitment to addressing violence against women in two documents, “Time for Action: The National Council’s Plan for Australia to Reduce Violence Against Women and their Children, 2009-2021”, and, “The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women – Immediate Government Actions April 2009”. The NSW Stop Violence Against Women (SVAW) Network is committed to making sure the government fulfils its commitments under this plan, particularly with regard to ensuring that its proposals are adequately funded.

In conjunction with women's organisations, the NSW SVAW network is holding a roundtable forum in response to the Government’s proposals for a National Plan. We cordially invite your attendance and your input. We are interested in your opinions on the Plan and any issues that it may pose for you or your organisation.

When: Thursday 16 July 2009, 6.20pm for 6.30 start

At: Amnesty International NSW Action Centre, Level 1, 79 Myrtle Street, Chippendale, NSW (10 minutes walk from Central Station)

Attendance is free, but RSVP to nswsvawactiongroup@amnesty.org.au by July 10 essential. Small nibbles and drinks will be provided.

We look forward to hearing from you and to working with you once more.
